Re: 2014 NFL offseason thread

Indy is next stop on D’Qwell Jackson’s tour of NFL teams
Posted by Josh Alper on March 4, 2014, 11:23 AM EST

APLinebacker D’Qwell Jackson has found plenty of interest from around the league since being released by the Browns with the Colts joining the party this week.

Jason LaCanfora of CBSSports.com reports that Jackson is expected to visit with the Colts after wrapping up his meeting with the Dolphins on Tuesday. Jackson met with the Titans and Broncos over the weekend and there’s been no indication of a leading contender for his services at this point.

The Colts got 16 starts from Jerrell Freeman at one inside linebacker spot last season and used Pat Angerer and Kelvin Sheppard at the other spot. Neither played particularly well and both Angerer and inside reserve Kavell Conner are set to become free agents next week.

With free agency approaching, Jackson’s window of relative exclusivity on the open market will soon come to an end. Judging from the amount of teams that have shown interest in signing him, he should be able to find a new team before the flood of other options is let loose.

They look bad but I'd like to see them outside of the animated rendering before passing final judgement. In unrelated news, I am glad that the Colts haven't changed the uniforms signicantly in quite some time.

The Colts uniforms, logo, and color schemes are easily some of the best looking merch in the league. I'm soooooo glad that the Colts kept the name and classic look when they came to Indy. If they would have changed names, odds are that the new name would have been lame

While looking at your team logos, I have to admit that the Pats logo and uniforms are pretty dope.

The decision to postpone the scheduled regular season match-up at Rogers Center follows a recent extension of the NFL team's agreement with Canadian media giant Rogers Media.

TORONTO - The Buffalo Bills recently extended their deal with Canada's Rogers Media to drive up the road and play a home game each year in Toronto.

Buffalo Bills to Continue Toronto Games Through 2017

In a joint statement released Wednesday morning by the Bills and Rogers Media, the NFL club confirmed it will drop the Toronto game in 2014.
"As such, we have postponed for one year the scheduled 2014 regular season game at Rogers Centre in Toronto, and that game will return to Ralph Wilson Stadium. We will use this time to collectively evaluate opportunities to enhance future games," Russ Brandon, president and CEO of the Buffalo Bills, and Rogers Media president Keith Pelley, said.
The decision to play all eight games at home in western New York was first reported in the Buffalo News newspaper.
Buffalo’s long playoff drought didn't help ticket sales in Toronto as none of the team’s previous six regular-season games at Rogers Centre sold out.
And the Bills winning only one of those six games has apparently left the NFL team asking whether it loses a competitive edge by playing across the border in Canada.
Leaving the Bills presence in Toronto in limbo is also a blow to Rogers Media as parent Rogers Communications holds minority stakes in the NHL’s Toronto Maple Leafs and the NBA’s Toronto Raptors, and covets bringing the first NFL franchise to Canada.
To give cross-border Canadian fans a bigger presence in Buffalo, a new sponsorship agreement for the 2014 season includes ticketing, merchandising, media exposure, and a newly-created Canada House near Ralph Wilson Stadium to serve as the official pre-game Canadian tailgate zone for all home games.

Re: 2014 NFL offseason thread

I learned a long time ago to not freak about NFL contracts, almost everybody is playing on a one year contract regardless of why their numbers are...

Depends on how the guaranteed money is spread out, but yeah I like this signing, I think he atleast has 1 good year in him left and the one after should be pretty solid as well. Hopefully after 2 years Mcnary will be ready to take over or whoever we end up developing behind Freeman and Jackson.
